JPMorgan's recent analysis provides a glimmer of hope for the wavering trajectory of the cryptocurrency market. Their findings suggest that a majority of extended market positions have now reached their liquidation point.
The insight primarily stems from examining Bitcoin's futures contracts, particularly the active ones, at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME). These active contracts, referred to as open interest, offer a glimpse into the market's collective mood and the strength of current price patterns.
Data reveals a decline in Bitcoin's open interest, hinting at a potential reduction in the pace of its current pricing trend. Consequently, JPMorgan's experts believe there is minimal room for the cryptocurrency market to decline further in the immediate future.
The recent fall in cryptocurrency prices ties back to dwindling confidence in U.S. regulatory progress. Over the last month, Bitcoin's value dipped by approximately 11.27%, with its trading price hovering around $26,000 on August 26, as reported by Cointelegraph Markets.
Bitcoin's price had previously surged due to encouraging progress in earlier months. This surge was largely attributed to the anticipation surrounding the inauguration of the first U.S.-based exchange-traded funds (ETFs) linked to Bitcoin's real-time price.
In another significant development, Ripple Labs secured a partial victory against the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), injecting a dose of optimism into the market. However, this buoyant mood is being overshadowed as traders closely monitor forthcoming decisions related to Bitcoin ETFs and the impending SEC's re-appeal against Ripple, which has cast fresh doubts.
JPMorgan's analysts emphasize that these developments herald a phase of renewed legal ambiguity for the crypto sector, rendering it highly susceptible to upcoming events. Other external factors influencing the downward trend include the rise in U.S. real yield rates and concerns over China's economic trajectory.
